The player has to break the bottom glass, then the top. Do this four times, and when all the glass is shattered the player can fire the drill which will go through the pipes periodically and destroy the building. Upon destroying it the player completes the level and can watch the ending.

On the building is an Off The Rails level. If the player completes the level, a screen will appear saying they've unlocked a secret level. The player can then proceed and destroy the building.

Trivia

On level two, the male superhero and Godzilla from Pixel Pop appear on TV screens on the first and third buildings respectively. The second building has a gorilla beating his chest, a likely reference to Donkey Kong.

On level twenty-three, the people at the little friendly dojo resemble Mr. Miyagi and Daniel from the movie the Karate Kid.

On level eleven, the dojo called the Viper Fist bears a resemblance to the dojo called the Cobra Kai in the movie the Karate Kid.

On level twenty-two, Takeshi and the sushi health item from Final Ninja can be seen on a set of screens on the building the player is supposed to destroy in one level.

There was a glitch that the level select screen will list all levels as 0. the glitch was fixed by Nitrome.
